Navigating Hurricane Helene

Dear Beautiful Souls,

I just want to take a moment to share something from my heart, almost like a little journal entry. As I sit here, surrounded by the uncertainty and overwhelm in the aftermath of this hurricane, I’m deeply grateful for the work I’ve done with the sacred medicine. It’s not just that I’ve been able to draw on the medicine itself during this time, but also the resilience it has taught me along the way. I’m so grateful for the skills I’ve gained—skills that have helped me not get caught in ruminating thoughts, and that allow me to bring myself back to a grounded place when things feel overwhelming.

Although my town and much of Western North Carolina has suffered great loss and destruction, I’m incredibly fortunate that my house is okay, my home is okay. But with that comes a little survivor’s guilt that I’m navigating. I know people who have lost their homes. I know people who are still missing, and my heart breaks for them. It’s a lot to hold, and I’m grateful for the grounding the medicine provides as I move through these heavy feelings.

Thank you for being here and for letting me share this. It feels good to just express my gratitude for this journey with the medicine.

With love,

Alice
